The news of the shipwreck of the Princess of Cintra and her son-in-law had spread far and wide. Of course, someone had to take the blame for such an accident.
Queen Calanthe of Cintra, the grandmother of Olivia and Cirilla, was furious. She questioned the lords of the Skellige Isles. What the hell were they doing? These lords always boasted that they were a race that could control storms. In the end, her only daughter had died in a shipwreck.
As for "Donnie's" death, she did not care much. She had never liked this son-in-law of hers. Originally, she had entrusted the witcher Geralt to eliminate the hedgehog-like monster "Donnie." In the end, with the help of the famous Druid Ermion, Geralt had lifted "Donnie's" curse. In the end, the two of them got married.
The lords of the Skellige Isles quickly found a scapegoat. Of course, it was Crach, who had been tricked by Emhyr before he left. Most importantly, King Bran valued this guy. He was in charge of receiving the Princess of Cintra and her family. I'm sorry, the blame is all on you!
Crach was a boorish man. Of course, he could not say anything. The only thing he could do was to apologize to Queen Calanthe with his death. This was not an act. If there was such a thing as "offering a humble apology," then Crach would definitely go to Cintra and beg Queen Calanthe to grant him death … However, this was impossible.
However, this was impossible. No matter what, Crach was the nephew of Queen Calanthe's second husband, and he was highly regarded by the old King Bran. He was almost destined to be her successor. How could Queen Calanthe kill him in a fit of anger? This was a matter of political influence!
The friendly relationship between the Kingdom of Cintra and the Skellige Isles had already been affected because of this incident. Hence, all the accountability naturally stopped there.
It could only be said that the lords of the Skellige Isles were quite good at picking people to shirk their responsibilities. In the end, Crach's punishment was only three glasses of wine.
However, Crach was an upright and boorish man. He felt extremely apologetic and this became a knot in his heart. He swore to find out the truth!
Crach then saw the two lovely sisters, Cirilla and Olivia, who had lost their parents. The only thing he could do was to gather all the lords of Skellige Isles. Then, he promised in the name of his family that he would do his best to help Cirilla and Olivia. If they were willing, he could even take them as his goddaughters. This meant that they would also have the right to inherit Skellige Isles.
Of course, because their nominal grandfather, Eist, was the brother of the current King Bran, they originally had the legal right to inherit the throne. But obviously, when Crage became the king of the archipelago, their right to inherit the throne would definitely not be as good as Hjalmar and Cerys.
Cirilla obviously had no interest in becoming Crage's goddaughter. She did not understand that as long as she became Crage's daughter, she would one day be able to compete with Hjalmar and Cerys for the throne. In fact, she was not even interested in collecting such titles.
On the other hand, Olivia had received a quest from the system, which was to obtain a title. Once she had a title, she would naturally have a legal basis. In the future, she would become the Empress. Then, she could rightfully unify the Skellige Isles.
Therefore, in the eyes of many, the "weak" little sister Olivia, who had been crying every day after her parents' death, happily accepted a new cheap father …
She had to admit that her "acting" skills had played a big role in this process. In fact, Olivia was not that sad about the death of her parents. They had never fulfilled their parental responsibilities. Instead, she was more worried about Lydia, the teacher who had taught her magic.
However, Lydia had "Lord Wei's" protection. Her safety should not be a problem.
However, how could a drama queen like Olivia be so indifferent to the death of her parents? This was not how she usually acted!
What kind of person did she usually act like?
Of course, it was the image of a perfect princess. She was beautiful, weak, delicate, and delicate. She could easily arouse the desire of others to protect her. She was also so sensible, kind, and filial. Therefore, when her parents died, she "washed her face with tears" every day. She kept saying that she wanted to find her parents.
The funny thing was that when her parents were alive, she did not stick to her parents at all. On the other hand, she was very close to her sister, Cirilla …
If she was a little older, her acting skills would definitely be considered exaggerated. However, she was only four years old. There was no such thing as an imaginary age. Everything was calculated according to one's actual age.
Was it normal for a four-year-old to be "heartbroken" over the death of her parents?
Cirilla, who was originally a little sad, was no longer in the mood to grieve over the death of her parents. Instead, she felt that as the older sister, she had to comfort her little sister. From now on, she and her sister would only have each other to rely on …
Cirilla became even more protective of her sister. She felt that she had finally found the feeling of being a big sister. In the past, her sister had always tolerated her. Now, it was finally her turn to take care of her sister.
Olivia, who was "heartbroken" and had "washed her face with tears," had found a new father. No one doubted her. Crach treated this new daughter as his own. He wanted to give her all the compensation he had!
Although Cirilla did not recognize her as a father, her calmness after the death of her parents, as well as her care for her sister, had won the approval of many. Of course, at the same time, some people felt that this Princess Cirilla was too cold-blooded. When this child grows up, he would not be an ordinary person! This child would become a great person!
If there were any brainless supporting characters, they would have muttered, "This child must not be allowed to live." In reality, they did not know that Olivia, who had learned so much from "Lord Wei" in a short year, was the one who had hidden the most.
She had used the death of her parents to its fullest potential. She had fully understood the meaning of "the crybaby gets the milk." She had also deepened the bond between her and Cirilla. In this incident, other than Emhyr, Olivia was the biggest winner!
She had been Vilgefortz's disciple for a long time. Naturally, she could tell that Vilgefortz valued Cirilla. Based on the trajectory of Cirilla's life, she was a proper protagonist!
In short, she was going to hug her sister's thigh!
Little did she know that every day, when Cirilla hugged her adorable little sister to sleep, she secretly swore in her heart that she would protect her sister's life!
